It is discovered that the magical blade he carries can actually turn people into Sweeney Todd. Agent Cameron Chase is investigating the murders of women who possess metagenes. Each victim is missing their pituitary gland. Cameron theorizes that this Sweeney Todd killer targets women who are reaching the cusp of their metahuman abilities and eating the pituitary glands in order to sustain himself. Cameron then gets a call from Dylan saying that Kate and Damon are inviting them to a concert. The four of them are greeted by Todd Rice who got the tickets for the concert. Unfortunately, the concert is interrupted by the Sweeney Todd killer who crashes the show with a car. Todd reacts by becoming Obsidian but the killer’s straight razor severely wounds him. The killer is after Cameron who possesses metagenes from her father. Kate blinds the killer with her Manhunter claws. The killer wallows in pain and Kate ends his suffering by cutting his throat with the straight razor. In a flash of red light, the ghost of Sweeney Todd escapes his host’s throat and disappears.

Mr. Bones is given the blade and turns into Sweeney Todd until Manhunter can defeat him and revert him back to his original form.
